    And despite the fact that the vehicles that use it spend 90% of their time parked in one place, you can’t have it delivered to that place like you can with other utilities like water, electricity, and natural gas.

    Thank god for that. Can you imagine how much polluted land and groundwater we’d have if we piped it around and it leaked like our water pipes do?

      Oh for sure. This is something of a practiced rant I perform to promote electric vehicles. Petrol drivers are always asking about how long it takes to charge a vehicle at a charging station not realizing that their vehicle can charge while it sits dormant at home.

      “How long does it take to charge your car?”

      “I dunno, how long does it take to charge your phone?”

      Etc.
